Everyone enjoyed the great taco lunch and lots of wonderful
desserts. In addition to the fun and food, there were three members who donated
their time and expertise by speaking to the group and sharing insights into our
industry. We would like to give special thanks to Mike West, Pat Moffett, and
Ralph Denning for speaking at our event. Everyone enjoyed the information these
